This class is about creating and sustaining great characters that are not needy and dependent. Most improvisers give up power in their characters to help their partners and then hate what they’ve created for themselves. In this class you will discover ways to find whole, real and thoroughly entertaining characters that you can sustain over scenes and shows without losing power or momentum.
